Juliana Marins, 26, fell near the 3,700-metre crater of Mount Rinjani, on the island of Lombok, which has claimed the lives of tourists before.

She was hiking with a group when she slipped off a cliff at about 6.30am local time on Saturday. The cliff is located outside the crater itself.

Marins was said to be at the back of the group hiking with a guide when she disappeared.

“It was really early, before sunrise, in bad visibility conditions with just a simple lantern to light up the terrain, which was difficult and slippery,” one of the hikers told the Brazilian TV network Globo.

Rescuers heard Marins’s screams for help on Saturday, when she appeared to be safe but in shock. Brazilian media broadcast drone footage that initially showed her alive and moving.

However, the loose soil on the cliff face caused her to slip farther down. She was at a depth of some 150 metres when spotted, but had slipped to 500 metres by Monday morning.

Muhammad Hariyadi, part of the rescue team, said recent drone footage showed that Marins was not moving.
